Among the bustling crowd at Cass Park you could find people like “T.J.” Thanks to local charities they ate what may have been their first real meal in a while. Many attendees either homeless or like “T.J.”

Eleven hundred homeless people came to “Mack & Third” at Cass Park just for a free meal and a message of inspiration from the Soul Star – who was right where they were in the early 90s.
